When you open the zip file, put the files in a new folder *garage*. Then click on index.html to get started


The client garage is a template used for web designers to keep track of their client's billing and work in progress.

1) There is one client garage with 2 client login areas. Each login area "the garage" has four separate parts:

  • 1) image area - one link is working
  • 2) bill area - one link is working, you copy this page and use it every month or every billing cycle
  • 3) mock up/design area - one link is working
  • 4) feedback form (cgi mailform) capabilities, one link up

2) How the password protection works

The passwords for the template (index.html) are client1 and client2. The nature of the password protect is that the filename that is being protected is also the password to login. Ex:

If password to login = client1
Then the directory being protected is named:
/client1/client1.html

(this fix is in V1.3 and was implemented on 11/03/01 by Mitchell's Web Design Service by simply changing the code from location=password + ".html" to location=password + "/" + password + ".html") This allows for each client to be put in a unique directory for html organizational purposes. Lorie also added the capability for design clients to pay directly from their client garage. Thanks Lorie!)

The javascript parses .html (or .htm which can be altered in the code) onto the end of whatever password is typed in. As long as password.html file exists, the user will be taken to the protected area.
(this fix is in V1.2 and was implemented on 09/02/01 by Dax. This method offers much more security than V1.0. Thanks Dax!)

3) Current passwords are client1 and client2.

4) Setting up your directories:

After you have unzipped your files and have placed them all into a folder you will need to create two directories. One called client1 and one called client2. See picture above. To set the password for your first client, change the directory name of client1 to the desired password. You must also go into the client1 directory and change the name of client1.html to yourpassword.html. Also, copy the .jpg's & gif's into both directories.

5) You may alter the look and feel of your garage to match your site.

6) Leave all author names in the code. You don't need to add a link or credit to the page, but you can if you want to :) or you can use my logo:
